Elder Jackson

About This Movie

Elder Jackson is a quiet exploration of faith and identity, set against the backdrop of a Mormon missionary's life. Jacob, the lead, has this strict routine, but then enters Kathy, shaking things up. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension of his internal struggle to build. It's not flashy; instead, it offers a raw and intimate look at how desire clashes with religious duty. The performances are grounded, especially from the lead, capturing the weight of expectation on young shoulders. What stands out is how the film doesn’t rush to resolve Jacob's conflicts—there's a sense of realism there. It’s not about grand gestures, but rather those small, pivotal moments of self-discovery.
